Re: A Coding Question

Sorry I am aware of the basics of coding, but not with all the termenology. When you say a GUI or text based interface, I'm not sure what it means... but I'm using Visual C++ Express Edition. And when you say getPixel i understand its a function but I don' t know what API means. I was hoping that you could just tpye in the coding for me so I look at it and understand it, please.

Re: A Coding Question

I'm not using a program right now. I'll be starting it once I understand how to get the pixel color. I just want to know how to get the pixel color using code in Visual C++ Express Edition. Is there a certain directory that I have to open up to get certain functions? Because I've learned how to do a mouse click just by surfing the web. Is this intensely difficult? or can it just be explained using a few lines of code?

Re: A Coding Question

Your question doesn't really make sense. That's why we're having trouble with it. Which window do you want to get a pixel from? If you don't have a program, then you can't have a window, so it doesn't really make sense to ask the question, now does it?

Let me ask you one question:
I want to know how to change from 5th gear to 4th gear, while riding/driving a vehicle. I will learn to drive vehicle only after I "know" how to change from 5th to 4th gear.
Please help me, otherwise I cannot start learn driving.

You've been given the answer already (at least based on the limited information provided). It seems like you're quite a long way from being able to understand or use it. If you don't know how to program, or how to use a Windows API, or even if you're using a GUI or not, what use is knowing how to get a pixel's color?

Re: A Coding Question

Sorry I don't know what I'm doing.
But I just looked up how to do a left mouse click on C++, and I got a few lines, and they worked, then I studied them, and now I understand them. So I figured you guys would just be able to give me a few lines of code that would solve this. Didn't know it would be that big of a problem, sorry.
I'll just wait until I get my degree in computer programming...
